FedEx to perform in‑house ATR72‑600 to freighter conversions using IPR’s STC

FedEx will perform in‑house conversions of ATR72‑600 aircraft to freighters using IPR’s supplemental type certificate (STC), executing the modification work internally rather than through third‑party converters. The program formalizes FedEx’s use of IPR’s approved STC for the ATR72‑600 platform.
